Chapter 341 - 349: A Kind of Singleness, Waiting for Someone (9)
"This latest service really was comfortable, Ling Momo had dozed off in a drowsy stupor, only semi-awake when a staffer brought in some essential oils. The door wasn’t closed, and the sound of high heels clicked down the hallway, accompanied by a complimentary voice: ’Miss Jian, are you only doing a facial like usual today?’"
Immediately followed by Jian Chenxi’s crisp and clear voice, "No, I’ll go for the full body treatment."
Then the staffer left, and the door was closed, silencing the room once more.
The beautician, who was massaging Ling Momo, saw that her eyes were open and said softly, "Miss Jian has been coming quite frequently lately!"
Momo just grunted, showing little interest.
The beautician didn’t notice Ling Momo’s lack of enthusiasm and continued, "I hear she’s getting married to Lu Niange. She mentioned it last time she was here."
Momo stiffened up suddenly, and the beautician couldn’t help but ask, "What’s the matter? Miss Ling, did I hurt you?"
"No." Ling Momo snapped out of it, replied indifferently, then turned her face and closed her eyes, pretending to sleep again.
The beautician then stopped talking.
When Ling Momo was done and ready to leave, she happened to see Jian Chenxi at the front desk paying with her card. The cashier seemed familiar, speaking with a jolly tone tinged with appeasement: "Miss Jian, best wishes for your upcoming wedding."
"Thank you, but it’s not over just yet!" Jian Chenxi returned a bright smile, took her card, and walked out in her heels.
Ling Momo stepped up, showed her own card, and then left as well.
